with her face buried in her hands, heed
ing not the baby fingers that lifted the
masses of golden hair and crowed with
delight as the sunlight glittered upon
it. She did not weep or cry out; she
silently prayed for death. Only three
years bride! Three years of happi-

years with George, brave, manly,
generous, the idol of her heart,
tho king of her dreams. There
was no bitterness in her heart toward
the designing woman with her God
like face and devilish malignity who
had filled her husbands ears with skill.
full falsehoods. She only crouched
like wounded fawn and prayed that
she might die. Out in the cold Decem-
Der sunshine with her babe in her arms
she wandered on and on until the river,
with its floating ice and sullen splash,
was at her feet. Clasping her child
tightly to her bosom, with prayer for
the man whose smile was life to her,

The Dishonest Partner.

One of the most frequent and deplor

honest partner. No business can be
managed without mutual confidence be.
tween those who conduct it and though,
when we hear that commercial mar
has brought himself within reach of the
law, we are inclined to doubt if his
partner can have been unaware of hi,
malpractices, yet it must be obvious
that the dishonesty of one partner too
often arises from the unsuspicious sim.
plicity of the other. There are even
instances in which no amount of sagaci
t. will save man from the enterprises
of a roguish partner. The following j,
very common case: A and b being
partners, A dies. and his son succeed,
to his share of the business. So long
as A was alive the speculative tendencies
Of b were kept in check but young A ha,
rot the same experience as his father; he
has learned torespect b; he looks to him
for guidance; and if b has made up hii
mind to extend the business of the firm
by new methods, now that he is head
partner, the junior partner will gener.
ally be a mere tool in his hands. II
young A be more fond of pleasure thar
business he will of course be even less
than tool-a mere cipher, and b viii
be left to manage matters as he pleases,
until he succeeds in his schemes, and
proposes TO buy A out of the business,
or fails and brings A to poverty and
disgrace. 1t Is cruel thing that if B
has absconded, A will have to beaI
the entire brunt of creditors wrath,
and perhaps be criminally punished fol
his innocence. But partners have
learned this lesson so often that it is al.
most a wonder how any sane man can
assume responsibilities without ascer-
tanning the nature and extent of them.
1t is certainly not for the public inter
est that the sudden ruin of an honest
partner should he pleaded in extenua
ton for his ignorance or carelessness. =

Eunice's Twins.

"No, can't say that I've had a pros
porous season." observed one passenger
to another. Last spring me and my
old woman thought we'd keep summer
boarders and make some money. We
have big house, able to accommodate
eighteen people beside our own folks,
so we writ to our sons and darters in
the city, tellin' 'em what We had de-
cided on, an askin 'em to say good
word for us to their friends. Well, we
fixed the old house up in fine shape and
waited for our boarders. Purity soon
our darter Mary came down from
town with her three children, and said
she had spoken to all her friends
about us. In about q week Barter EN-

profitable boarders we hoped for new
kind, and felt much encouraged from
what they told us. The next arrival
was my wife's sister Sal and her two
nearly grown-up children. 1 was a
good deal discouraged then, but my old
woman braced me up by sayin' some

could 'commodate six more anyway.
The next arrival was my dsrter Eunice
with her husband and two children. They
all settled down as if they lowed to stay
all summer, an was purity badly broken
up about it. told my old woman things
were getting down to fine point an not
much left fthe garden truck. She en-
couraged me by sayin' we still had room
for two boarders, an we'd charge them
enough to run the whole house. Two
days afterward saw a strange man

er, Jim, who hadn't seen for twelve
years, come to spend the summer with
